Landscape with Waterfall, Attributed to Orazio Borgianni (Roma, h. 1575-1616) Oil on canvas. (Rome, ca. 1575-1616). Italian painter and engraver. His training takes place fundamentally in Rome, where he is interested both in the examples of classical antiquity and in the naturalism of Caravaggio. In 1598 he is already in Spain, and in 1601 he is in Pamplona. In June 1603 he appears as one of the signatories of the petition for the establishment of an artistic academy in Madrid. Probably three of the works in the Prado correspond to this first Spanish stage: Christ crucified, Saint Francis receiving the stigmata and Saint Christopher. Between 1603 and 1604 he is again in Italy, but in 1605 he returns to Spain, where he remains until 1607, the year of his definitive return to Rome, where he will remain until his death. His stays in Spain provided him with a clientele that continues to demand commissions from him even after his return to Italy; this is how the works for the Valladolid monastery of Porta Coeli are understood. In them, Borgianni carried out some canvases of clear Caravaggio ancestry, an influence that was felt in the Roman painter especially from 1604, and despite the personal differences between the two artists. In 1610 he is appointed a member of the Academy of Virtuosi of the Pantheon. There are four canvases by Borgianni in the inventories of the Museo del Prado. Christ crucified comes from the Museum of the Trinity, while Saint Francis receiving the stigmata and Saint Christopher are modern acquisitions, from 1984 and 1988, respectively.
